Comment:
God Bless Him. May His Soul Rest In Peace. He was one of the MOST Unfair Profs I had the misfortune of coming across but what can we do now. He really made life miserable for a lot of students. He was a math wizard and to pass his exams, you had to be of his IQ. Impossible for undergrads. RIP

Comment:
His math228 exam was a nightmare exam. Hardest math exam I had seen in my whole life. His teaching quality was below average in my opinion. So So So BOOORRRING but he expected a lot from students. He was also a very harsh marker, not linent at all. Those were some really sad memories I have from his class. For me, he was still one of the worst prof

Comment:
i'm surprised at all the hate here! i really enjoyed his teaching, and often stopped by his office (unannounced) to ask questions. he always seemed happy to help. i guess some people had a bad experience, but i want people to know that it's not universal. he was one of my favourite math profs at queen's.

Comment:
This man had no heart. The most horrible human being alive that I had met during my time at Queen's. Profs like him should be banned from teaching or anywhere near students, because they clearly hate students and helping them. Most Unfair prof I've ever seen. Everyone I know hated him. He was horrible!!!

He wrote the textbook called An Introduction to Linear Algebra for Science and Engineering but does he even know what Science or Engineering is, given that he himself did his undergraduate degree in arts? I wish him a happy retirement.

Comment:
It is very likely that his own professors from the 50's era gave him a terribly hard time and he was basically taking out that anger on Engineering students at Queen's. His exams weren't particularly tough, but he disappoints you when you get your marks.

Robert Daniel Norman has been the worst prof I've had during my time at Queen's. I respect most profs I've had and ALL my math profs were really gentle except him. Hope to see him serving fries with coke when I return for the Alumni weekend. B.A? hehe

Comment:
He marked Brutally on the midterms (and probably in the finals too, but we don't get to see the finals) Has a "It's got to be perfect or you get zero" attitude. Doesn't give many part marks, and he failed close to 20% of the students in his clas

I found Norman's lectures extremely clear and at the same time challenging. Just like in any course, if you don't study the material you will not do well. His linalg book is probably hard to read at first, but a very good reference.

Comment:
An Arts graduate himself, he was teaching mathematics to second year Engineering Physics students and Apple Math students. What a shame. An Arts graduate bitter at Engineering students since he couldn't ever become an Engineer in his life

Comment:
Nice guy but not very forgiving when it comes to marks. Expects students to be math wizards and love the "theoretical aspects" of math. Lin Algebra final exam was fairly straight-foward though, but I heard that he was harder for upper year math

This man doesn't derserve even one out of five for helpfulness- He deserves ZERO(Or even worse) Because of him I dropped out of Apple Math. Doesn't like to give marks.Gets pissed off if students talk while he is 'TRYING'to teach and stops&stares at them

He was the W-O-R-S-T professor I've ever had. He talks politely and looks innocent, but within that innocent smiling face, he's a pure devil. not sensitive to students needs or concerns. can be sarcastic and cynical in a polite manner. NOT COOL
